SAVANNAH, GA, January l.-Reports
are circulated tonight from what seem
trustworthy sources that United States
Senator Joseph Z. Brown is about to re-
sign his seat. When Gen. Gordon, the
present Govenrr, resigned, Brown, then
ex-Govcrnor, was appointed to fill the
vacancy, and was afterwards elected by a
two.thirds vote over Gen. Lawton Tor the
full term. which expires March ;, lss7.
The Senator is feeling his siyty-tivc years,
and as he is unqueStionahiy the wealthiest
man in tue Senate from the South, his
friends think it likely that he may wish
to leave the scenes of active politics In
case he does resign, Goy. Gordon could be
returned to his old seat if ne 50 desired.

which finally, including the Reinforcement
added from time TO timc, amounted to l2,
O95 men. Curtis was an Ohio man, West
Point graduate, and he had been colonel IL
the Mexican war. He had been congress
man from Iowa, and lived In that state when
the civil war broke out.
An instructive part of war history Is got
from reading the correspondence and the re-
ports in the governments archives. Nearly
all the generals In the field constantly beg the
department commanders for re-enforcements
and arc answered that re-enforcements are
being forwarded as fast as possible.
In Halleck's instruction to Curtis he con-
stantly urges the latter to keep his men to
gether, and not let the enemy fight him in
detail. Throw out your cavalry carefully"
says Halleck, "like fingers to the hand, so that
they can be drawn In on the main body"
Curtis, In one of his letters, declares that he
must have cavalry horses, 400 new sets of ar
tillery harness and 10000 pairs of pants. "
Halleck answers back that 'pants will be
sent" but he cannot spare any horses.
Missouri and Arkansas were the scene of
the most desperate guerrilla fighting of the
war, and this fact Is also reflected in Curtis
letters He tells Col Clark Wright: "There
is great set of rogues about Keitsville and
hope you will find and arrest and send back
the most of them. Another of Curtis orders
is very strict in regard to protection Of pri-
vate property. He will not permit houses to
DO entered, unless for spies, arms or soldiers.
Restrain your troops from acts Of cruelty
and folly" he directs Col. Wright.
Gen. Price wintered at Springfield, getting
recruits and supplies. February IL, Curtis
began his march against Price, AS he ap-
preached, Price retreated south, and finally
went over tho border into Arkansas. He
camped at place called Cross Hollows.
Curtis cavalry followed in close pursuit.
Price retreated hastily, leaving a number of
sick and considerable amount of commits
sary stores behind him. He burned his bar
racks at Cross Hollows.
Near this place occurred one of those out
RACES Of the war which all must regret now.
Some of Prices provisions were left at ham,
let called Mud Town. Some Confederate
officers, before they abandoned these, scat
tered poison over them. Federal officers and
men following on found the provisions, ate
of them and siclSened and died. Who per-
petrated the act has never been exactly ascer-
tanned. But it shows what warfare in Mis-
souri, and Arkansas meant in those days.
Price continued retreating till he came to
Boston mountains Look on the map and
you will see spur of the Ozark range ex.
tending into the northwest corner Of Arkan-
sas, about fifty miles south of the border.
This Is the Boston mountains, q stretch of
hills 1000 feet high

help, saying he could hold out no longer.
Again there was no assistance. "Persevere,n
said the commanding general. He did SO,
till fourth of his men lay dead, dying and
wounded upon the field. When the left and
center were safe, and Asboth, Gen. Curtis
and later Sigel himself, pressed TO Carr's aid,
they found him fighting on still, with shat
tered army, and the ground for q mile strewn
with his dead and wounded.
The fighting was renewed holly as ever for
q time and Asboth was wounded. Then
night fell, and both armies bivouacked upon
the field, with the dead and dying all about
them.
In the morning of March g. there was moro
fighting around ElShorn tavern. The force
Of both armies was concentrated there
Sigel's men with several heavy batteries bore
the brunt of 1t. Gen. Davis opened a cross
fire on the Confederate left Cannon thunder
and from hail filled the air with terror, till at
last the Confederates could endure it no
longer. Their batteries were planted upon
the hills of Pea Ridge. They turned to fly,
and Sigel's men were dashing up the hills
after them. It was picturesque sight
Curtis says in his report:
"The upward movement OF the gallant
Thirty-sixth Illinois, with its dark blue line
of men and its cleaning bayonets, steadily
rose from base TO summit, where it dashed
IOrWdru, uTlVlnR anu ScdtUeIluB tuo efefuy
from these commanding heights"
SO ended the battle Of Pea Ridge. IL was
not victory for either side, but it ended the
fighting in that part Of Arkansas and Mis-
souri,. It was fought in a corner near, the
border line of three states, Missouri, Arken-
sas, Kansas and the Indian Territory Van
Dorm encamped with his men eight miles
from the battle field, and buried his dead un-
der flag OF truce. Then he went his way
south of Boston mountains, getting of
with nearly all his baggage. The loss on
each side was about 1000. Both armies had
had enough of fighting for n time. Curtis
cncamped at Keitsville to rest and care for
his men.
Pixies Indians tomahawked their fallen foes
and scalped and mutilated them. A Confed-
crate officer, in q letter to The Richmond
Wing, declared that he saw tho Texans doing
the same thing. On the other hand, Van
Dorm charged that some of Sigers men muir
dered several prisoners OF war In cold blood.
IL must be remembered that Pee Ridge was
specimen Of border warfare.
